Quick question as an outsider, often hear your championship on Anthony Dalys podcast referred to as the little all ireland, what's the background to that or just a bit of craic?

City hurling final tomorrow - Passage vs Brian Dillons.
Passage going for the double after winning the football last week.
Dillons beaten in last two finals, hoping to beat their county demons once and for all with an ageing team.
Should be a cracker. It’s live on Passage’s facebook at 4pm.

The B hurling is on Lough Rovers Youtube v Delanys at 1.
Be nice not to lose 2 City finals in a week!

Prob as it used to be very competitive, dominated by the big city clubs, and used to attract massive attendances but some local may know better

taken from wikipedia so not sure how correct it is

Since the beginning the championship has been dominated by Blackrock, St. Finbarr's and Glen Rovers who are collectively known as the "big three".[10][11][12][13] They have won a combined total of 84 championship titles. Blackrock dominated the first thirty years of the championship, winning 15 titles between 1887 and 1920. It was during this time that the county championship earned the nickname of the "little All-Ireland" due to its competitive nature. St. Finbarr's, after making a breakthrough in the early years of the 20th century, were the team of the decade for the 1920s before regularly claiming championship titles in each of the decades that followed. Glen Rovers made their own breakthrough with a first championship in 1934 and were the dominant club from then until the 1960s. Between 1971 and 1982, the "big three" shared every available championship title. Their rivalry reached its peak in the 1977 final when a record attendance of 34,151 saw St. Finbarr's defeat Glen Rovers

A Lough Rovers goal 7 minutes into injury time forced ET.
Delanys regrouped to win by 7 aet.
Nice to win a hurling championship after losing the A football last week.
Our Junior C footballers are in their respective final also.

Our 3 adult teams reaching 3 championship finals is in itself a huge achievement for our small club.

after a very slow start it's been all Courcey Rovers since the water break, leading 2-8 to 0-6 HT

zetecescort

Courceys cruising to their first ever title, 5-11 to 1-11 with 5 min left

Itssoeasy

At the water break in the city final between Passage and Brian Dillon’s it’s Dillon’s by a point 0-06 to 0-05. Passage started very well but fair play to Dillon’s they weathered that and have come back into the game.

Itssoeasy

Brian dillons 2-11 passage 0-09 HT city final.

Yup, I know the club. The team they played in the semi final put in an objection and it was rejected.

That’s madness. How can that be allowed go unchecked

The White Feather

Blackrock v Glen Rovers will be live on TG4 at 4PM on Sunday.

As both regular and change colours clash, the county board have tossed a coin and Blackrock won so Glen Rovers will have to change.

Clare played Cork in a senior hurling challenge match this past weekend? Any word on final score, teams etc will be most welcome by this poster from the Banner county!

Got the final score from blood and bandage forum. Lets just say it was a disappointing performance from the Banner county. Impressive stuff though from Cork, who scored 4-30.

Is the Glen's alternative colours all white? For some reason I can picture them in my head playing in Pairc Ui Rinn in recent years in white.

I must be just remembering the white Cork alternative so. Could have sworn I pictured some green and yellow down the side too but obviously my mind is just playing tricks on myself.

Rockies jersey looks lovely!
